Unedited

I don't feel like being poetic but I feel the need to write

Like shades and tints we're dark and light

I'm trying to shine while attempting to hide

 

This feeling is draining me

 

Trading my ups for downs and shoving me under

It's exhausting down here

Not that fighting for air but clearly suffocating

 

Can you hear me

 

Implied punctuations that are rarely displayed

I'd rather stop and go then direct

So inhale, exhale

 

I'm running out of things to tell you

 

Bare with me

This is ****** at its finest

Stripping away my attempts at acceptance

 

I wish my arms were long enough to reach

 

Every now and again I notice there's a lot here about me

I wonder if this sheet is too trasparent

Suddenly realizing I'm always running

 

Maybe we can go for a jog

 

I guess this is more poetic

I had to write something before these words caught me

Playing hang man with my keyboard

 

I'm so tired . . .
